Bondi Terror Suspect Naveed Akram Moved to Goulburn Supermax

Naveed Akram

GOULBURN : Naveed Akram, the 24-year-old accused behind the devastating Bondi terror attack, has been moved to the state’s most secure prison facility, Goulburn Supermax.

9News understands that Akram was transferred from a Sydney prison hospital to the High Risk Management Correctional Centre (HRMCC) following a period of medical stabilization. Akram had spent the last nine days in isolation within a hospital unit after sustaining serious injuries during a shootout with police on December 14.

Akram faces a staggering 59 offences, including:

15 counts of murder

Committing a terrorist act

Multiple counts of attempted murder

The charges stem from the “Chanukah by the Sea” massacre, which claimed the lives of 15 people and left more than 40 others injured in one of the state’s deadliest acts of violence. Akram’s father, Sajid, was shot and killed by police during the initial confrontation.

While a spokesperson for the NSW Government stated they could not comment on the specific circumstances of individual inmates, they emphasized that community safety remains the “top priority.”

“Corrective Services NSW takes its responsibility to appropriately manage serious offenders incredibly seriously,” the spokesperson said. “The High Risk Management Correctional Centre is equipped to accommodate inmates who pose the highest levels of risk.”

Akram is expected to remain in extreme isolation at the Goulburn facility as legal proceedings continue.
